The Sweet Tang of Adolescent Desperation Is Love's Baby Soft

"Just because you're better than someone., doesn't mean you're good."I heard some high school drama clique kid saying this to some other high school drama clique kid today as I was leaving work. Given the usual level of talent our drama department brings to the stage, I wonder how the girl who was saying that is going to feel when she discovers she can't even get parts like "Cum Dumpster #2" in a low rent porno.

There is some new production brewing. I hear it is a school wide talent show. Auditions have left the tang of adolescent desperation hanging heavily in the hallways outside of the auditorium. I can only imagine what it's like inside. Desperation and "Love's Baby Soft", I'm guessing.

To my freshmen's credit, they have heard about the curse that uttering the name "Macbeth" carries if you utter it during a live theater production. AIDS. They all plan on sitting in the front row on opening night and shouting it. God bless their curious minds. I see extra credit in their futures.
